Last week and on Monday I took Sheeba to the Dog Care Centre for shots.She really enjoyed the rickshaw rides but threw a fit upon seeing the vet.Holding on to an excited Sheeba, I took these photos from a moving rickshaw. These are the works of roadside artisans from a gypsy tribe.

They make idols of Hindu gods and goddesses, garden ornaments, animals and birds.

Below are some garish parrots with cows and elephants

These are religious figures.With the upcoming Hindu festival of Diwali they are very much sought after by people of the lower income group.

Well to do people and those with better taste shop in other places.

These days the Chinese have invaded the Indian market and China -made festival ornaments are being sold cheaper than the Indian made ones thus causing a setback to our local potters and artisans.

These are the un-painted , un-glazed figures.

Some gypsies sell hand-made flower bouquets.

Here is a coconut cart in front of a hospital we passed by. Fresh coconut water is very good for convalescence.

Fertilize my soul:

A look at Allahabad indeed. Streetlife. I am sending the link to my friend in Australia whose sons, half Australian, half Pahari nainitalis who have never been to India, to enjoy - a view of what is Allahabad, where they would have been this winter in fact.

What a wonderful view of life where you live! I just enjoy so much, seeing life in other places. Thank you for snapping these photos while on your errand. I've always wanted to ride or drive a rickshaw. They just make so much sense. Of course, here town is a long way away and I'd be very tired by the time I got there.love, teresa

Oh, it is great photos! We can see this hindu figures. Nice to see, but they have no life.It is good to know another kind of life.Thank you for reminding us of the unreached people in your Sidebar.I will pray for them.Nothing is impossible to God.

A Promise For YesuGarden

8 Let me hear what God the LORD will speak, for he will speak peace to his people, to his saints; but let them not turn back to folly.
9Surely his salvation is near to those who fear him, that glory may dwell in our land.
10Steadfast love and faithfulness meet; righteousness and peace kiss each other.
11Faithfulness springs up from the ground, and righteousness looks down from the sky.
12Yes, the LORD will give what is good, and our land will yield its increase.
13Righteousness will go before him and make his footsteps a way.
